Advocates for Victims of Assault and Battery

At Esposito & Associates, we handle assault, battery and other intentional tort claims on behalf of people in the Los Angeles area and throughout the surrounding regions of Southern California. Our attorneys are experienced and effective both in negotiations and in court, and over the last 15 years have obtained millions of dollars for previous clients.
To accomplish a similar goal in an assault or battery lawsuit, we need to establish the elements of assault or battery in much the same way as a criminal prosecutor would. For assault, that means showing that the act was intentional; that it was intended or likely to cause apprehension or fear of immediate offensive contact; and that fear or apprehension resulted. The important thing to recognize with assault is that physical contact is not required to make your case — only the fear of it.
For battery, an intentional act is also required but a harmful or offensive contact is too. In either case, we can help you to recover compensation for injuries and other losses directly related to the assault or battery, and we will also be aggressive in seeking to recover punitive damage awards wherever possible.
